Allium siculum or Honey Garlic is a member of the Onion family and (similarly) is a perennial that grows from a bulb.
It prefers dappled, shady woodland settings where it displays its showy umbels of greeny yellow bell shaped flowers with maroon streaks, atop tall, green stems.
The flowers are followed by decorative seed pods later in the season.
Foliage is triangular, twisted and a blue/grey colour.
Untrue to its common name, it produces a skunk-like odour when cut and therefore resistant to grazing fauna.
These unusually coloured and pretty flowers suit beds and borders of informal designs like cottage and gravel gardens.
They may take 2-5 years to reach optimum height and spread.
